Horizontal Articulated Connector for 80x30mm Aluminium Handrail - Quadrum Range

This horizontal articulated connector joins two sections of 80x30mm aluminium handrail from the Quadrum range at a variable angle. It is used at each horizontal change of direction of the guardrail - landing angle, corner return, L-shaped or U-shaped configuration. Compatible exclusively with the Quadrum handrail in 80x30mm section, it is available in gloss black and gloss stainless steel finishes to integrate seamlessly with the existing installation.

Sold individually, this connector is fixed without welding or complex cutting. It eliminates the need to cut handrail ends at a precise mitre for each angle - the articulated mechanism absorbs angular tolerances and guarantees a clean result even on non-standard angles.

Installation tips

Adjust the angle of the connector before inserting it onto the handrail ends. Measure your configuration angle precisely using a protractor or adjustable square. Tighten the articulation mechanism once the angle has been confirmed - the connector then holds the angle rigidly. This connector is used in combination with the articulated square baluster connectors Articulated connector for 16x16mm Quadrum balusters to manage the full angle across the entire height of the guardrail.

Care and protection

Clean with soapy water. Check tightness annually. Rinse with fresh water in coastal environments or where de-icing salt is present to prevent mineral deposits in the articulation mechanism.

WoodUp tip

Important before purchasing: this connector is specific to the QUADRUM 80x30mm handrail — it is not compatible with the ELLIPSIS handrail (100x30mm) or any other profile. It handles horizontal angles (changes of direction in plan) but not changes of slope (stair rise). For straight inline joints, use the corresponding straight connector. Allow one connector per horizontal change of direction. Clamping screws included.

Frequently asked questions

Is this connector compatible with the Ellipsis Ø50mm handrail?

No. This connector is designed for the Quadrum handrail with an 80x30mm section. The Ellipsis section (round Ø50mm profile) is different - the two connectors are not interchangeable. For the Ellipsis range, order the Ellipsis articulated handrail connector.

How many handrail connectors are needed for an L-shaped guardrail?

An L-shaped guardrail (two sides with a 90° angle) requires 1 horizontal articulated handrail connector Articulated MC Quadrum connector 80x30mm and 5 articulated square baluster connectors Articulated connector for 16x16mm Quadrum balusters to cover the 5 balusters at the angle. Order both accessories at the same time to ensure finish consistency.

Does this connector handle both inward and outward angles?

Yes. The articulated mechanism also handles inward angles (interior, < 180°) and outward angles (exterior,> 180°) within the mechanical range of the joint. Check your exact angle before ordering if your configuration is atypical (very acute or very obtuse angles).

Can this connector be used for a 180° straight return (straight inline joint)?

No. For a straight inline joint between two sections of Quadrum handrail, use a straight connector designed for this purpose - not this articulated connector which is designed for angles. Always check whether your joint is straight or angled before ordering the correct accessory.

Does this Quadrum handrail connector withstand outdoor use?

Yes, anodised aluminium withstands outdoor exposure without additional treatment. The Quadrum range is designed for both interior and exterior use. In coastal environments exposed to salt spray, rinsing with fresh water once a year is sufficient to maintain the finish. The articulation locking screws should be checked annually when used outdoors to maintain the set angle.

Articulated Fitting for 16x16mm Square Rails Quadrum Range – Variable Angle

This articulated fitting connects two 16x16mm Quadrum range square rails at a variable angle, for configurations where the balustrade changes direction. It is used in combination with the 80x30mm articulated horizontal handrail fitting – together, they handle the complete angle of the balustrade across its full height. Each balustrade angle requires 5 rail fittings (one per horizontal rail) and 1 handrail fitting.

Available in gloss black and gloss stainless steel finishes, this fitting maintains the visual consistency of the Quadrum installation. It is exclusively compatible with 16x16mm square rails in the Quadrum range – not interchangeable with Ø16mm round rails in the Ellipsis range, which require their own articulated fittings Ø16mm Ellipsis articulated rail fitting.

Installation advice

Order this fitting in batches of 5 units per angle. Adjust the angle of each fitting identically before insertion – use a protractor or adjustable square to measure the exact angle of your configuration. Insert the rail ends into the fittings without tightening, check the alignment of all rails across both sections of the balustrade, then tighten progressively post by post. Always combine with the handrail fitting Quadrum articulated handrail fitting 80x30mm for the same angle at the top of the balustrade.

Maintenance and protection

Clean with soapy water. Check the tightness of the articulated mechanism annually – thermal variations outdoors can slightly loosen the angle locking screws. Rinse with fresh water in marine environments to prevent salt deposits in the mechanism.

WoodUp tip

What to know before buying: this fitting is exclusively compatible with 16x16mm square rails in the QUADRUM range — do not use with Ø16mm round rails in the ELLIPSIS range, which have a different section. Plan for one fitting per angle of change of direction. For straight-line joints between modules, use the straight connector (ID 805). The clamping screws are included.

Frequently asked questions

Is this fitting compatible with Ø16mm round rails in the Ellipsis range?

No. This fitting is designed for 16x16mm square rails in the Quadrum range. The Ø16mm round rails in the Ellipsis range have a different profile and require the specific Ellipsis articulated fittings Ø16mm Ellipsis articulated rail fitting. The two fittings have different internal housings – they are not interchangeable even if the nominal dimensions appear similar.

How many fittings should be ordered for a Quadrum balustrade at a 90° angle?

For a 90° angle: 5 articulated fittings for 16x16mm rails 16x16mm Quadrum articulated rail fitting + 1 articulated horizontal handrail fitting 80x30mm Quadrum articulated handrail fitting 80x30mm. If your balustrade has multiple angles (L-shaped, U-shaped), multiply these quantities by the number of angles. Order in one go to guarantee batch and finish consistency.

Can this articulated fitting handle angles of less than 90°?

The articulated mechanism covers common balustrade angles (approximately 60° to 120°). For very acute or very obtuse angles outside this range, contact WoodUp before ordering to validate compatibility. Non-standard angles may require specific adaptation solutions.

Should this fitting always be combined with the handrail fitting Quadrum articulated handrail fitting 80x30mm?

Yes, in all cases involving an angle. A change of direction in the balustrade requires managing the angle across all 5 rails and the handrail simultaneously. Ordering only the rail fittings without the handrail fitting makes it impossible to complete the installation correctly. Always order both accessories together for each angle.

Is this Quadrum articulated rail fitting suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, anodised aluminium is suitable for outdoor exposure without treatment. Check the tightness of the joint locking screws once a year to maintain the set angle, particularly outdoors where temperature variations can cause slight expansion. In coastal environments, rinsing with fresh water after periods of exposure to salt spray is sufficient.
